How much of a break will Dan get for Equus? It sounded like the
production will be at least 6 months long. I don't want to have to wait
too long for DH!! I'm impatient for it now! Though I am quite anxious
to see Equus as well. Too many productions; not enough Dan! :-)<<
Where did you read that DAN was the one who insisted on a filming break to
do Equus? All I heard/read (and I've tried to keep up with all of his
interviews I could find online) was that he hoped it could be brought to Broadway,
but he didn't seem to be the one "in charge" so it wasn't up to him. I
suspect the producers need those six months between films to do pre-production on
DH, post-production and publicity on HBP, but that's just a guess based on
observing how they've done things in the past.
If some article really says Dan was the one who insisted on that long a
break, I'd love to read it - where is it?
As for directors, I think Yates has done the best job by far. He did
AWESOME battle scenes, he got fantastic performances out of the actors, and the
sets were spectacular! If only he'd made OOtP a good bit longer so as not to
cut out so much of the story!!! That's my only quibble with him. Cuaron - the
best I can say about him is that I liked Harry's hair the best in PoA of all
the films so far - I hated the Mexican references he stuck in there - they
had no place in a British film (the eagles and snakes on the fountains in the
courtyard, the shrunken heads, the Day of the Dead sweets in Honeydukes, in
case you missed them - there could be more, I just can't think of them right
now). And I hope they keep Dobby's burial - that's a really touching scene,
and shows so much about the good heart Harry has (bless him!).
